SCCM Resource Library-2023 Literature: Surgical Critical Care

Video Transcription

Video Summary

The presentation thanked colleagues and leaders in the Surgery Section for their support and highlighted several significant studies in critical care. A systematic review by the RAW group recommended limiting antibiotics to four days after source control for intra-abdominal infections. The SHU group found initiating vasopressin early in septic shock patients improved outcomes. Studies on transfusion thresholds suggested specific hemoglobin levels for various surgeries. The Schellenberg group recommended chemoprophylaxis within 48 hours post-injury to reduce thromboembolism. PCC did not significantly reduce blood use but increased thromboembolic events in trauma cases. For fluid resuscitation, no mortality difference was observed between restrictive and liberal strategies. A study suggested endovascular therapy first in mesenteric ischemia. Nutrition studies advocated continuous enteral feeding through extubation. Overall, the talk emphasized practical findings to enhance patient care and concluded with a nod to physical rehabilitation's positive impact on recovery.
